Logbook Servicing

Your next new vehicle will come with a warranty, which protects you from the expenses associated with mechanical faults early in the vehicle’s life. To maintain this warranty, it’s expected of you to bring your vehicle to a reputable mechanic for regularly scheduled logbook servicing, to ensure your vehicle isn’t developing problems that might prove more costly down the line.

We can provide logbook servicing on all makes and models of petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles, ensuring you can drive your new vehicle with the peace of mind of an intact warranty.

Vehicle Inspections

Before you sell, trade or otherwise offer your vehicle up to a new owner, it must first undergo an inspection to ensure that the vehicle is still road-legal. This roadworthy inspection has to be carried out at a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester before VicRoads will approve its re-registration.

We can provide roadworthy inspections on all light vehicles, including LPG. We can also conduct pre-purchase inspections for used car buyers, and pre-trip inspections ahead of your next driving holiday.

LPG Servicing

LPG systems in vehicles need to be serviced by specialty LPG vehicle technicians, ideally every 12 months or 20,000km, to ensure it maintains the performance and fuel economy that makes LPG vehicles so popular.

Pro-Motive Bayside is a workshop authorised and accredited by VicRoads and AFSACS for work on LPG systems. We’ll inspect your system for issues, diagnose any problems you might be experiencing and provide general servicing.

Brake Repairs

Your vehicle’s brakes are arguably your vehicle’s most important safety feature, making the difference between an emergency stop and an expensive trip to a panel beater for repairs. Your brakes also suffer more from wear and tear than any other area of your vehicle, particularly with the stop-and-start nature of driving in the suburbs.

We provide a full range of brake repairs and services, from replacement parts to machining and reconditioning of brake discs. We can also check your vehicle’s brake hydraulics to ensure nothing’s interfering with your vehicle’s stopping power.

Steering & Suspension

Problems with your vehicle’s handling and ride comfort can typically be traced back to issues in your vehicle’s suspension or steering, whether it’s a lack of responsiveness in the steering wheel or excessive body roll when going around corners. Issues with your steering can also affect the rate at which your tyres wear out.

We stock a range of replacement suspension parts to keep your vehicle riding smoothly, and also conduct repairs on your vehicle’s steering. We can also rebalance and realign your wheels and tyres to minimise tyre wear, and recommend new rubber from our range of passenger car and 4×4 tyres from Australia’s most trusted providers.

Clutch & Transmission

Your vehicle’s transmission is a piece of precision engineering, and any issue here can quickly deteriorate if not caught early. If you’re having trouble staying in gear or changing gear, or if you experience strange noises and smells from underneath the vehicle while driving, it’s a sure sign of trouble in your vehicle’s transmission.

We provide a range of drivetrain services, from clutch repairs and replacement parts to servicing for automatic and manual gearboxes, as well as repairs for your vehicle’s differential.

Engine Repairs

Your vehicle’s engine is the beating heart of your vehicle. Any problems here can have a drastic effect on your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency.

We offer customers a comprehensive range of engine services, from testing, rebuilds and reconditioning to repairs for engine blocks, cylinder heads, camshafts and more. We also provide EFI diagnostics and dyno tuning to help you get the absolute most out of your engine.

Radiators & Cooling

An overheating engine can quickly cripple your vehicle if it’s pushed too hard on the road, leaving you stranded. If you suspect your vehicle’s overheating, the best thing to do is pull over immediately and give us a call for a check of your vehicle’s cooling system.

We can repair or replace faulty radiator units, heater units, thermostats, head gaskets and more. We can also conduct checks and services, from pressure testing to coolant flushes, to ensure your cooling system is working as intended.

Diagnostics & Auto Electrical

Only the most dedicated auto electricians can keep pace with the rapidly developing field of automotive electronics. Our workshop is equipped with top of the line diagnostic scan tools, helping us locate electrical trouble in even the latest makes and models of vehicle and get you back on the road sooner.

We also test and replace faulty batteries, alternators and starter motors, as well as fit upgrades to your vehicle’s lighting.
